Simulators for equipment development

Efficient simulators can significantly reduce development times in
medical technology and facilitate greater acceptance of the devices in
advance. VISCOM's researchers design models of future medical
devices, particularly for minimally invasive surgery, and integrate
models of the human body into the simulator to test the behavior of the
medical equipment. This makes it possible to test and improve the
optical and mechanical properties at an early stage using a model which
leads to significant error reduction. The simulation results are
computed on GPUs (Graphic Processing Units), allowing for high frame
rates, which in turn make real-time simulations possible.
